N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

I have made a wild assumption that 'Aghaderg' (Lett's usual collection area) matches with Donaghadee

[David Price]

Lett was Rector of Aghaderg (hence glebe).

A prominent village in the Parish of Aghaderg is Loughbrickland on the A1 Belfast to Newry road just south of Banbridge (see http://countydown.x10.mx/html/aghaderg.htm ). The IE GR for Loughbrickland is J1042

There are several places named Whinn[e]y Hill, probably referring to the presence of Ulex.

[Roger Horton]

If Hume is correct in recording 'Whinny Hill, Aghaderg Glebe' this label suggests that the hill is within or near the glebe which was just 26 (or perhaps 24) acres (see THIS POST).

See the Historical Irish OS 6" map. This is at a scale of 1:5000 so the above acreage would be something akin to a 2½"x2½" square.
